Comments

Foggy G, "The Songs That Were Played," We're Only In It For The Touring

1970 (Jun-Dec): Only performed once on this tour, and I personally have yet to hear it. Anybody out there coherent enough who remembers hearing this and can fill us all in, while we take care of our hair?

1988: Essentially performed as on TBBYNHIYL, with its companion piece "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" always present.
